Exclamation Radio update

I have a 99 Ultra Classic and want to put a newer style HD radio in it. Will a radio from a newer HD fit my bike, if so what years will fit and will I need a adapter or will it plug into the regular wiring harness

i could be mistaken here but I think it can be done partially. I remember someone on here (maybe harleypingman) posting a note about this and having to change the smaller radio sound radio connector with the larger HK radio connector on the harness in the fairing. I think the CB will be a problem for you though.

Here I'll help you out.

Google 99 Ultra Classic radio upgrade Harley Davidson Forums.

This is just one of the better discussions.

Typically new members are asked to start posting in the new member forum by introducing themselves.

And what I showed you above should help you find days of reading already posted discussions about this topic to help you get started, and a good learning opportunity for the future.

My opinion only..
I would just do a Sony or Alpine Stereo
ALOT better price
more features..Like SD Card and more power
and can be adapted to handlebar controls
